Isaac Wavy Bradley, 32, was killed by gunfire on June 5, 2026, in the Back of the Yards neighborhood of Chicago. The shooting occurred shortly after midnight, about 12:25 a.m., on the 5100 block of South Wood Street while Bradley and others were gathered near a home. Two masked men reportedly walked down the block and opened fire, wounding five others; seven people in total were shot and Bradley and Lamar Butler were the two who died.

Bradley was known in Chicago as a chef, restaurant owner, and entrepreneur with ties across the city’s food scene and the South Side. Friends and community members described him as beloved, generous, and someone who built community around his restaurants and work. Investigators placed more than 50 evidence markers at the scene and asked the public for tips and video that could identify the two masked shooters. No arrests or suspects had been publicly identified by name.

If anyone knew Bradley, saw the gathering on South Wood Street that night, or has footage or tips about the two masked men, please come forward to assist the investigation.
